Description
A LONG labour of love painting this thing. This fanart piece took 18 months to complete, the original frame-size of this piece was 13.5 feet wide, and 17.7 feet high. This is of Leonard and Rhos, painted in the style of the old master Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, and my aim has been trying to make something Rembrandt himself would've painted had Rembrandt himself been alive in the modern era.

In an earlier concept, Leonard would have been holding a green (Rhos doesn't like red ones) apple, but this was changed to the sword in the piece because I couldn't figure out how to paint an apple in the style, hence why the Cat Apple piece is in my gallery in the first place (it was too shiny for the style shown here).

I freaking love fantasy genre stuff, and I wanted to paint something that would appear legitimately in universe, perhaps something that would've been painted for a noble family, or even as a status portrait.

Background references Alexandre Calame's Souvenir de la Handeck, (1859).
